Yes, yes I do. I have about 70+ of these, and I think I get about 3 a year. Call Scholastic, or go online at homeclubs.scholastic.com and request a list of all of the ornaments that have been distributed. I have done this to replace some of mine, and they were happy to send out the list.

I have been collecting them for some time. We hang them around our living room at Christmas time, with greenery and lights. They compliment our tree. We now have 74 total. Enjoy!

As I stated above, I too enjoy these ornaments! We are up to 78 of them.
If you call 1-800-724-1818, you can either re-join, or purchase specific ones that were previously released.

I think these are great on the tree at Christmas time, I think I have about the same amount as you Hooksmee but I am having a lot of trouble getting anymore as the company that held the license here in the UK does not seem be selling them anymore. Do you know if Grolier in the US does international orders?
If they did, this would be a great way of continuing my collection rather than paying the inflated prices on online auction sites.

I've never even heard of these - but there isn't much room on the ol' family menorah to hang Christmas tree ornaments!  Of course, the family menorah is a Disney original though!!! I've really only found Hanukah merchandise in the Disney Store and online at disneyshopping.com - I'm always holding out hope for more of a selection in the parks and the Marketplace. There must be room somewhere in the perpetual Christmas store in the Marketplace for a little shelf of other holiday themed merchandise.... Best of luck continuing your collections! I do actually have a small selection of Hanukah Disney pins, so that is something to look for! Someone should start a thread with Christmas tree (and other holiday themed) pictures!

Here is the link to the ornaments... Scholastic took over Grolier some years ago.

Grolier UK had problems getting the GRolier ornaments last year. They have now resumed, I got Lightning McQueen and Remy a couple of months ago. I have 102 ornaments, all different Disney characters.

Hi Tenacda,
I have been a collector of these ornaments for a number of years now. I have found that if you enter the name of the ornament you are looking for in google or other search engines, you will come across some collectors selling them. You can compare prices and decide how much to list yours for.
At this point, the angel series minus tigger and pooh are the hardest to find and Grolier/Scholastic do not answer as to whether there are any left from their suppliers.
I have also noticed that a lot of UK and USA collectors wishing to liquidate their collections list them on ebay ... currently it would appear that flik, maid marion, robin hood, duchess, o'malley and the seven dwarves yield a large number of votes and go for a larger sum of money than the rest. So you could go on there and watch items to see what they are selling for.
As I said I am a collector and would also love to know what items you have as I am currently looking for some of the angel series and one or 2 others to catch up with.
Perhaps posting an item on here from time to time or a listing may yield you some hits ... just a thought.
Whatever you do, I know that there are a lot of collectors from Canada, US and UK that would love to get their hands on the whole collection!!Good luck!!
